First off nice HU :D The setup is pretty sweet but for the love of God please remove that warning sticker on your cubby hole:D
Any shots of the GPS in action, it is awesome? Can you play a DVD at the same time as the GPS and just switch back and forth? As for your wireless, what program you using as your sniffer and what antennae r u using for that.
One more thing about the HU, how do you get the CD text to display. I am embarresed, I am d@mn lan admin and I can't figure it out, it just says no text to be displayed reguardless of what new CD I put in, I have even used NERO and included the CD text and it still doesn't work. I have gotten to to work on past HU's, it pisses me off. Again I am buying new CD's that should have the text but I can't get it to display.

yes and yes, as for pictures, am usually driving when the gps is "in-action", but will take one tonite before i start driving.

i never said wireless, i said internet :). it connects via GPRS thru bluetooth thru my sony ericsson t637

[/i] mine displays fine... dunno why you're having problems... will take a pic to show ya ;)

What program is that that your using with your phone? thanks

What program are you using as your home?

I see that you initially startup in windows, but then load your own custom program w/ all of your dvd/ audio/gps options on it? Was this a custom designed program and if so, how do I get ahold of it?

THere are at least 5 different ones you can use. My favorite is Mediacar (which u can see). ANother really good one is Centrafuse.
here's a link

Best part: ALL FREE! :)

Any chance you want to give the stock HU to a donor, mainly me?

i only donate to goodwill... lol

Phonecontrol.NET ... you can find links under software & development in the mp3car forums :icon44:

The Corrs - What Can I Do ;)

This is sweet, I'd never leave my car.:D

I looked for that screen and can't find it for less than $400. Could you list in your site where you got all the parts, except for of coarse the Dell PC ;) .

WOW! I wish i was handy like that! Kinda makes me wanna ask what part of California are u located (hint hint) :D

yea man, no doubt man, i really want to do this man, .any regrets ?

great setup!! Mine is very similar, except I use a laptop instead for the battery backup purpose.
The only regrets I have is window's inability to instant on/off like a HU. But putting it in Hibernation mode with battery backup does make everything boot up significantly faster. Overall, the nav in car pc is definantly a cheaper way than other in car nav solution. Especially now, with the car pc, it makes it hard for me to justify putting in a dual din Eclipse :D
